"The HummingSat platform is described as a new class of geostationary satellites that are said to be 'significantly' smaller and more cost-efficient than conventional GEO craft."
"Swissto12 believes its form factor can support cost-effective production and ride-share launch opportunities with its proprietary, space-qualified additive manufacturing technology."
Swissto12 has opened a new assembly facility in Switzerland to produce HummingSat satellites, following €73m in funding from ESA member states. The HummingSat platform represents a shift in satellite communications, focusing on smaller, faster, and cheaper satellites. These geostationary satellites are designed to be more cost-efficient than traditional models, enabling faster builds and lower costs. The company utilizes proprietary additive manufacturing technology to enhance production efficiency and reduce costs, collaborating with ESA to develop advanced radio frequency products.
